Editor's Note: Below is a quick-shot review of last week's Jonathan Richman show in Davis Square. He didn't play "Roadrunner," so that gives us an excuse to post it up top, video shot at New York City's Coney Island High back in 1998 for Joey Ramone's birthday party. YouTube rules.

As JONATHAN RICHMAN'S live repertoire shifts further and further away from the legend of the Modern Lovers and his cult-classic solo albums of the ‘70s and ‘80s, audiences are now seeing his most recent material finally taking life.
